Hello! Doing freestyle, I cannot inhale properly with my mouth because water comes in my mouth, too, and I panic that I have water in my mouth so I cannot inhale again when I run out of air because there is already water in my mouth. What should I do? Please help.

Tbh a mistake I always make is closing my eyes in water even though I can do it because I sometimes forget to open my eyes. I ended up starting to lose my breath and I realized I was 1 foot away from the side and then I end up feeling embarrassed. BRUH

i am learning swimming. On my second day of swimming class, I had an experience of drowning..My instructor was not near me, other people in the pool came to rescue me.I got so scared, I cried.For next three days I didnt go for my swimming classes.. I was just sitting at home scared but somewhere in my mind I knew that its not good to give up. I go to my swimming classes again.. and this time i asked my instructor to be with me all the time. My instructor held my hands every time when I was trying to float and then slowing after 30 mins I tried to float without anyone's help, I did it and was very happy.But on next day i got scared again, my fear of drowning came back. I was not able to float now. I dont know what happened to me . .Every time when i was trying to float, i was losing my balance just bcz i was panicking. But i never stopped going to swimming classes. Today was the10th day of my swimming class and now I can float and can peddle too😊. honestly speaking,I still have that fear of drowning. I dont know how much time I will take to learn swimming properly but i will keep on fighting with my fear until i win

My sisters nearly died drowning when i was a child, luckily someone saved them at that moment, since that, my parents never brought me to swimming places, they dont allow me to go swimming lots of times, but i only go to pool a few times when i was a child, and i dont even know how to float even now, i got panicked too easily. It feels like im gonna sink to the bottom every time. I really want to be able to swim😭😭

My main issue is breathing. I feel like I am still breathing out when I turn my head for air. Then dont have time to take a breath in before my next stroke. Do I just need to slow it down and take full deliberate breaths instead about breathing every 2-3 strokes?
